Sheoldred, the Apocalypse 💀 (EDH / Commander) [Revisión 84]

💀 How does Dommy Mommy become one of the biggest threats on board when you're generously allowing your opponents to draw cards? Because drawing hurts now, and we're gonna bring the hurt! 💀

>Why Sheoldred?

• Sheoldred is a mence in Standard and Historic. Once you get rid of one, another one comes out, and with only 20 health in those formats, it's not long before you're drained to death while taking other damage.
• Sheoldred herself isn't the engine to win the game for you, so early on you'll rely on your own card draw spells and draw engines to get you the cards you need to protect Sheoldred and comfortably secure the win.
• Also, Phyrexian lore rocks, and Sheoldred's lore is no exception.

>Opening hand suggestions...

• It all depends on your play group rules, but if you're allowed a free mulligan before you have to start putting cards on the bottom of your deck, try to net the following:
  • At least 2 lands, the likelihood of drawing into another land by turn 3 is roughly 80% probability
  • Mana ramp spells such as Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, and so on, you get it, this really goes without saying, however, it's important to get Sheoldred out early on. The sooner you drain your opponents, the sooner they'll be knocked out before their engines start rolling.
  • If you have a big creature, such as Vilis, Broker of Blood in your opening hand, as well as Reanimate, you could pass without playing a land, discard the big creature and reanimate it turn 2. Have your opponents worry about this baddie instead and take attention away from Sheoldred.
  • Imagine passing turn 1, then playing a Swamp, Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, and Reanimate. I live to make my friends mad.

>Win Cons…

• Aetherflux Reservoir
  • You'll be gaining a lot of life as long as Sheoldred stays on the battlefield, so it may be often that you use AR's activated ability (on one opponent to close the game at very least).
  • If you have, say, 70 cards and play Lich's Mastery, you'll draw your whole deck and you'll gain 140 health, therefore, you'll be able to either play AR and laser beam everyone, or it's on the battlefield already, it's game over.
• Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond or Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose need to be used together
  • Usually one of these will be removed before the other hits the field, so I suggest playing both of them back to back, followed by a draw spell.
  • I'd honestly say troll the shit out of your friends suggesting as to what you're about to do, saying "GG's," then play SB first so they counter it or remove it before EB enters, and then play Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose that turn if mana allows or next turn since it's literally a cheaper SB. Politics.
• Lich's Mastery
  • Don't play this unless you plan on winning the game the turn you play it since it'll become the biggest target across all boards, plus you'll draw your whole deck out with Sheoldred on the field which isn't that big of a deal because the card literally states "You can not lose the game." Therefore, you will not lose when you cannot draw a card next turn. BUT, make sure you do the following...
  • Important! Do. not. play a land the turn you cast this. Why? Well, if you cast this and you don't have 2 mana open to at least cast Thought Vessel, or if you do and TV is countered or removed before your turn ends, you'll have to discard down to 7 cards. So, the turn you plan on playing this, don't play a land because you'll draw Reliquary Tower. Play RT after drawing it and you now have access to your entire library including Yawgmoth's Will now allowing you to play any card! This is usually an auto-win, especially with...
• Skirge Familiar
  • Like Sheoldred herself, SF really isn't a value engine on its own. However, it's used in combination with Lich's Mastery. When you have 70+ cards in your hand, that's 70+ mana! That's plenty to use to win the game on the spot!
  • What if it's not on the battlefield? Well, there is a way to cast it as long as you have one black mana available, or a Mox Amber, and at least 7 cards in your graveyard. Cast Dark Ritual, then Cabal Ritual, you now have enough to cast SF plus one floating black mana. Start discarding cards and cast those win cons!
  • You could also easily use SF to pump Torment of Hailfire, or even better, Exsanguinate.

>Funny Win Con…

• This is hilarious so I had to make its own section. A lot has to line up for it to work, but if it does, it's a damn satisfying and hilarious win.
• Okay, so you need Exquisite Blood on the battlefield, Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose in the graveyard, and Necromancy in your hand for this to work.
• During anyone's combat phase, and after blocks have been assigned, if there is the potential of damage going through to any of your opponents (i.e. opponent #1 attacks opponent #2) and before combat damage is assigned, flash in Necromancy targeting Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose. Once this resolves, the combat damage will be assigned, and Exquisite Blood is then triggered which in turn triggers Vito creating an infinite life drain loop until all of your opponents are knocked out. You win the game before the turn ends! You don't even need to be the one doing the damage, and it doesn't even need to be your turn... that's the hilarious part!
• There are probably other trolly wins in the deck, but I haven't came across them yet... feel free to share!
• Enjoy!

>Necropotence...

• Necropotence is one of the most powerful "draw" engines in black. However, it actually doesn't draw cards per the oracle text. You place the cards that you exiled from the top of your library into your hand. Therefore, since it really doesn't synergize well with Sheoldred, I left it out.
